Problem 10-02A a1-b In recent years, Grouper Transportation purchased three used buses. Because of frequent turnover in the accounting department, a different accountant selected the depreciation method for each bus, and various methods were selected. Information concerning the buses is summarized as follows. Bus Acquired Cost Salvage Value Useful Life in Years Depreciation Method 1 1/1/18 $ 96,100 $ 6,500 5 Straight-line 2 1/1/18 119,000 11,000 4 Declining-balance 3 1/1/19 90,900 9,000 5 Units-of-activity For the declining-balance method, the company uses the double-declining rate. For the units-of-activity method, total miles are expected to be 117,000. Actual miles of use in the first 3 years were 2019, 24,500; 2020, 31,000; and 2021, 30,500.

Compute the amount of accumulated depreciation on each bus at December 31, 2020. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,125.) Accumulated depreciation BUS 1 $ BUS 2 $ BUS 3 $
